Yesterday at work (at the pharmacy) I was wearing the button Loryn got me a long time ago, an American flag and underneath is written: "Peace- Something to shoot for"
Har dee har har
Over the years I have gotten some reactions to that pin, mostly people reading it out loud, and laughing slightly, which, I hope, means they got the double meaning.
But yesterday a particularly chatty & annoying middle-aged man noticed it and said "Don't you think that pin is a little, uh, .... uh.... "
I helped him out. "Patriotic?" I suggested.
"No, not that..... don't you think it's wrong to have 'peace' and 'shoot' in the same sentence?"
Truth be told, I did not care to have a debate with this obnoxious person, especially at work, so I played dumb.
The idiot went on to say, "Why not 'aim for,' or, 'strive for'?"
"Those are all synonyms though, aren't they?" I replied innocently. "Aim, strive, shoot. It's all the same, isn't it? Isn't peace something to shoot for?" I smiled a wide have-a-nice-day smile and the man drifted away slowly, clutching his prescription bag (full of xanax, actually), mulling it over in his tiny brain.
